Libraries Transforming Communities: Extending Our Reach

Embark on library-led community engagement and see how you can help kick-start a new trajectory in your community. This session is part of the release of the new Office of Literacy and Outreach Services toolkit, Extending Our Reach, and coincides with the new Promise of Libraries Transforming Communities initiative. Join our panel of library experts engaged in building community and serving vulnerable populations. Our panelists, who are from libraries offering model programs for poor and homeless populations, will share best practices and address questions and concerns. The dialogue includes experts from San Francisco Public Library, San Jose Public Library, and Richland Library. This hands-on session will provide libraries with tools and resources to begin taking those steps for working within their own community.
